| Gasp! I gave Jed a haircut! Well...a couple of weeks ago I "custom cut" his hair with sizzers and it was pretty good. We have been getting used to the clippers though sloooowwwlllyy. Anyway, this morning Jed was doing really great with the grooming so I decided to get the clippers out. Tried them with the shortest guide (don't know the #, can't find it on there) and it didn't cut much off. So, I took the guide off and started trimming away with just the clippers in the extended position. YIKES! To late now. I did the best I could but he looks so sad! Of course going from his black puppy hair to now mostly all silver is drastic! DH is gonna kill me when he gets home!!! I text him a picture and he called back and said "He's BALD! what did you do?" But he was seeing the grey and thinking it was skin. Still.....poor baby. |

No Longer a Member | Yikes! make sure you bundle him up with a sweater, it'll be extra cold without the fur. No worries, it'll grow back quicker than you think And I'm sure we've all been there, got a little zealous with the clippers and the pups wind up looking a little silly for a while |

| LOL, I couldn't help but chuckle a little...been there, done that. Keep in mind, it will grow back. Think of the up side, you won't have to trim him for awhile. Come'on now....you simply must share a picture!

| I tried and tried to take a picture but he was so wired after I set him on the floor, he was a bullet running from one end of the house to the other! Now he is in his crate sleeping. Every once and awhile he will lift his head and give me a glare. Poor baby. I will learn this. Really I will. |

| AHAHAHAAA, running like a bullet....CRACKED me up! I just bet he was, hehehe. Ok, be sure to get one when he settle down. I would love to see his cut...I just know he looks so sweet. I love the shaved back look. I will shave Zhoie down...as soon as it gets warmer.

| I guess it's just so different because we went from...BLACK to SILVER rather quickly. |

| Samething happend to me when I shaved Zhoie down, she was much lighter, is was a shock. I did hers last early May and that was still to soon because she got way to cold. She's a coldy butt anyways. She loves being snuggly in her shirts. Poor little fella, just keep his shirts on and sleep in them too and he will adjust. He just feels so NAKED...LOL You sure did made me smile today. Thanks

| I'm sorry, it's just I recall being in your same state of mind just last year, when I skinned Zhoie the first time. So now, how did DH handle it when he saw him?

| You don't need to be sorry for anything. I realize I'm not the only one that has gone thru this, I just feel so bad. DH came home, looked at Jed....and started laughing! DH, DD and DS...laughing all night! They started calling him Simba and singing the song from The Lion King. Roarrr I feel so bad. I keep saying that. Poor little guy, he don't even know what is going on. DH said, "Look at him. You do this to him and he still follows you around looking at you with that love in his eyes." Ahhhhh How long will it be before he has some hair? Poor baby! |
